WORD Research this...Proverbs 31
- 1 The words of king Lemuel; the oracle which his mother taught him.
- 2 What, my son? and what, O son of my womb? And what, O son of my vows?
- 3 Give not thy strength unto women, Nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings.
- 4 It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; Nor for princes to say, Where is strong drink?
- 5 Lest they drink, and forget the law, And pervert the justice due to any that is afflicted.
- 6 Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, And wine unto the bitter in soul:
- 7 Let him drink, and forget his poverty, And remember his misery no more.
- 8 Open thy mouth for the dumb, In the cause of all such as are left desolate.
- 9 Open thy mouth, judge righteously, And minister justice to the poor and needy.
- 10 A worthy woman who can find? For her price is far above rubies.
- 11 The heart of her husband trusteth in her, And he shall have no lack of gain.
- 12 She doeth him good and not evil All the days of her life.
- 13 She seeketh wool and flax, And worketh willingly with her hands.
- 14 She is like the merchant-ships; She bringeth her bread from afar.
- 15 She riseth also while it is yet night, And giveth food to her household, And their task to her maidens.
- 16 She considereth a field, and buyeth it; With the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.
- 17 She girdeth her loins with strength, And maketh strong her arms.
- 18 She perceiveth that her merchandise is profitable; Her lamp goeth not out by night.
- 19 She layeth her hands to the distaff, And her hands hold the spindle.
- 20 She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; Yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
- 21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household; For all her household are clothed with scarlet.
- 22 She maketh for herself carpets of tapestry; Her clothing is fine linen and purple.
- 23 Her husband is known in the gates, When he sitteth among the elders of the land.
- 24 She maketh linen garments and selleth them, And delivereth girdles unto the merchant.
- 25 Strength and dignity are her clothing; And she laugheth at the time to come.
- 26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; And the law of kindness is on her tongue.
- 27 She looketh well to the ways of her household, And eateth not the bread of idleness.
- 28 Her children rise up, and call her blessed; Her husbandalso, and he praiseth her, saying:
- 29 Many daughters have done worthily, But thou excellest them all.
- 30 Grace is deceitful, and beauty is vain; Buta woman that feareth Jehovah, she shall be praised.
- 31 Give her of the fruit of her hands; And let her works praise her in the gates.

American Standard Version (asv - 2)
2021-02-18English (en)
The American Standard Version (ASV) of the Holy Bible is in the Public Domain. Please feel free to copy it, give it away, memorize it, publish it, sell it, or whatever God leads you to do with it.
The American Standard Version of 1901 is an Americanization of the English Revised Bible, which is an update of the KJV to less archaic spelling and greater accuracy of translation. It has been called "The Rock of Biblical Honesty." It is the product of the work of over 50 Evangelical Christian scholars.
While the ASV retains many archaic word forms, it is still more understandable to the modern reader than the KJV in many passages. The ASV also forms the basis for several modern English translations, including the World English Bible (http://www.eBible.org/bible/WEB), which is also in the Public Domain. The ASV uses "Jehovah" for Godߴs proper name. While the current consensus is that this Holy Name was more likely pronounced "Yahweh," it is refreshing to see this rendition instead of the overloading of the word "Lord" that the KJV, NASB, and many others do.
Pronouns referring to God are not capitalized in the ASV, as they are not in the NIV and some others, breaking the tradition of the KJV. Since Hebrew has no such thing as tense, and the oldest Greek manuscripts are all upper case, anyway, this tradition was based only on English usage around 1600, anyway. Not capitalizing these pronouns solves some translational problems, such as the coronation psalms, which refer equally well to an earthly king and to God.- Encoding: UTF-8

Basic Hash Usage Explained
At getBible, we've established a robust system to keep our API synchronized with the Crosswire project's modules. Let me explain how this integration works in simple terms.
We source our Bible text directly from the Crosswire modules. To monitor any updates, we generate "hash values" for each chapter, book, and translation. These hash values serve as unique identifiers that change only when the underlying content changes, thereby ensuring a tight integration between getBible and the Crosswire modules.
Every month, an automated process runs for approximately three hours. During this window, we fetch the latest Bible text from the Crosswire modules. Subsequently, we compare the new hash values and the text with the previous ones. Any detected changes trigger updates to both our official getBible hash repository and the Bible API for all affected translations. This system has been operating seamlessly for several years.
Once the updates are complete, any application utilizing our Bible API should monitor the hash values at the chapter, book, or translation level. Spotting a change in these values indicates that they should update their respective systems.
Hash values can change due to various reasons, including textual corrections like adding omitted verses, rectifying spelling errors, or addressing any discrepancies flagged by the publishers maintaining the modules at Crosswire.
The Crosswire initiative, also known as the SWORD Project, is the "source of truth" for getBible. Any modifications in the Crosswire modules get reflected in our API within days, ensuring our users access the most precise and current Bible text. We pledge to uphold this standard as long as getBible exists and our build scripts remain operational.
We're united in our mission to preserve the integrity and authenticity of the Bible text. If you have questions or require additional information, please use our support system. We're here to assist and will respond promptly.
Thank you for your understanding and for being an integral part of the getBible community.
